St Matthew, Chapter 9, verse: 38, The Apprenticeship.

Our paragraph topic is:  (The mission of the Apostles) Part 4.  

Christ looks out amongst the crowd of people and sees lost sheep.  He sees people that are bewildered.  He sees people that are puzzled.  He sees people that have lost their spirit of life.  There is a need for shepherds to lead them and he is training the disciples how to be good shepherds.  The harvest is great but the laborers are few.  He says to the disciples,  "Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into his harvest."   

Christ is looking out over the crowd thinking about those souls that need healing.  But he is also looking out across the land and seeing the hundreds and thousands of people that are just like those that he sees, those who are also lost and in need of a shepherd.  The disciples are only twelve.  Their task is great.  They are the original ones who trained with Christ.  They are the ones who must duplicate themselves and train others, who will in turn train others, and so on.  The need must be met.  Pray that the Lord of the harvest finds workers to help in the harvest.  Pray the the Lord of the harvest sends forth workers in all walks of life to lead the people.  Pray that the workers are open to the head master, who will direct them here on earth.  Pray that the workers will be open to receive the Holy Spirit to guide them and direct them in the tasks that are needed today.

The Lord of the harvest is hiring today.  He is looking for workers.  He is looking for laborers.  He is looking for people who are open to receive the instructions of the Holy Spirit.  It does not matter if you have a degree.  It does not matter if you have a high school diploma.  It does not matter if you are educated in the scriptures.  The Holy Spirit will direct all.  The Holy Spirit will teach all, in the ways of the Lord.  The Holy Spirit will train each worker in their specific task and guide them along the way in their on the job training.  All that is needed is a willing mind and an open heart.

The  pay is unbelievable.  The benefits surpass all.  The rewards are out of this world and you get to see the results of your work.  Come shepherds, the flocks are waiting directions.  They need to be led to greener pastures.  They need to be protected from the wolves.  They need to be led to the waters of life.  They need you.  Christ is calling.  Christ is waiting.  Christ is seeking for workers.  Will you come and work for Christ?
